I am honoured to be published in The Geneva Writers' Literary Magazine
"Offshoots 14" with a sonnet dedicated to Dürer's etching "Melancholia"
in which he depicts the state of melancholy personified by a maiden
who is pensive, sad, almost tormented by her melancholy, troubled
by the philosophical enigmas that she ponders. The etching is full of
alchemical symbols and also depicts the painter's tools used for his
etchings and paintings.
